Funny man Kevin Smith tweeted about his recent run-in with Southwest Airlines recently. His beef with the carrier? They kicked him off a plane for allegedly being "way fat." The airline has said the move was a safety issue. Kevin says it was discrimination. What do you think?

Smith says he had already boarded the flight and was seated when the captain determined that he was "a safety risk." When he boarded another Southwest flight, he tweeted: "The @SouthwestAir Diet. How it works: you're publicly shamed into a slimmer figure. Crying the weight right off has never been easier!"

Clearly, he's laughing it off--though there is talk about him doing some sort of public demonstration of himself sitting in a Southwest Airlines seat, perhaps on The Daily Show--but it does bring up an interesting discussion about health and safety vs. downright discrimination.

I, for one, see this as having all the signs of weight discrimination, given the fact that Kevin was able to safely board another Southwest flight shortly after. So, somehow he was a "safety risk" on one plane, but not on another? (P.S. This is not the first time that this particular airline has had run-ins with this type of thing: This woman says Southwest humiliated her about her weight.)
